Introduction

The British School of Paris Junior Campus is located in Croissy-sur-Seine, positioned on the banks of the River Seine. The school implements the National Curriculum for England, beginning with the Early Years Foundation Stage for children aged three. Instruction is in English, though all students receive daily French lessons tailored to their proficiency levels. Facilities include thirty-five classrooms, a specialized music suite, and a library with a collection exceeding 10,000 titles. A signature element of the education here is the 1:1 iPad program, where every pupil from Reception through Year 6 is provided with a digital tablet for classroom use.
